Picture a crispy pizza with a smoky flavor from the BBQ, topped with a creamy spicy Garlic Blue Cheese Sauce, and loaded with crisp veggies, blue cheese and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
As toppings for my Veggie Pizza On The Grill, I chose a mix of kale, golden beet sticks, red cabbage, and kohlrabi. These veggies pair beautifully with my blue cheese sauce.

How to make this Veggie Pizza On The Grill With Blue Cheese Sauce:
Prepare the pizza dough or use your favorite store-bought brand. Roll out the dough into a 9-inch circle/square on a lightly floured surface. Let the pizza dough rest for 20 minutes while you prepare the garlic blue cheese dip and preheat the grill.
Preheat your grill to medium-high.Brush one side of the pizza dough with olive oil and place that brushed side on the grill. Cover the lid and let the pizza dough cook for 2 minutes. Now, brush the top side of the pizza dough and then flip the dough so the newly brushed side is now facing the flame.
Cover the lid and let the pizza dough cook fully for another 2 minutes.
Remove the pizza dough from the grill, then spread a layer of the blue cheese dip on top of it.
I love spreading a layer of this garlic blue cheese dip on my grilled pizza dough, top that with crispy kale beet blend, sweet sliced pears, pomegranate seeds, crumbles of blue cheese and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
I start with the kale beet blend, then add some pear slices…..
…followed by crumbled blue cheese and pomegranate seeds!
Pure pizza decadence!!! This veggie pizza is awesome sliced into pizza wedges or rolled up like a wrap or a Turkish Pizza Lahmacun. I feel like a pizza wrap is a totally normal thing! 🙂
